Definitions

  • the invention relates to a process for production of zeolites from raw materials containing alkali alumino-hydrosilicates.
  • a process is known e.g. for manufacturing 4A zeolite from "red mud” obtained from the Bayer process which is widely used for making alumina from bauxites [Cardile C.M.: Removal and conversion of DSP in Red Mud to type 4A Zeolite (Int. Bauxite Tailing Workshop, 1992)].
  • the core of the process is the separation of particles smaller than 45 ⁇ m consisting mostly of alkali alumino-hydrosilicate with cyclones from particles greater than 45 ⁇ m, which consist mostly of Fe 2 O 3 .
  • the alkalinity of the ⁇ 45 ⁇ m fraction is reduced by washing with water, subsequently the slurry is acidified to pH ⁇ 6.2 using H 2 SO 4 and the Ca- and Mg-salts are removed by filtration or decantation.
  • the filtrate is further acidified to pH ⁇ 2.3 in order to bring the silicate components into a relatively stable colloid-like solution.
  • the alumina containing silica solution obtained in this way is separated from the residues of red mud and is subsequently treated with the necessary amount of NaOH. Subsequently NaA zeolite is crystallized.
  • the NaA (LTA) product is washed to remove the mother liquor (to below a value of pH 10.5) and dried.
  • the filtrate mother liquor contains alkali sulfates in fairly high concentrations, from which the alkali content can partly be recovered by treatment with slaked lime (causticisation) and subsequently utilised in the Bayer process.
  • slaked lime slaked lime
  • the alkali recovery yield is low, in fact, it is less than 50%.
  • the recovered alkali solution contains non-reacted lime particles (and some calcium sulfate), consequently, the utilization of the solution obtained from the causticisation has little relevance in the alumina manufacturing process.
  • One great disadvantage of the process described here is that a significant amount of sulfuric acid is required to acidify the raw material to a solution of pH 2.3 and a substantial amount of sodium hydroxide is needed for neutralization and converting the slurry alkaline with a pH of greater than 13.5 that is needed for the crystallization.
  • a further disadvantage is that the iron oxide content of the red mud at least partly dissolves at pH 2.3 and thereby the zeolite product becomes contaminated. Therefore the commercial application of this process is not profitable and the purity of the product does not reach the European Standards.
  • the WO 91/15427 A1 patent application document laid available for the public describes a process in which sodalite or cancrinite originating from the Bayer alumina manufacturing process is used as it is or together with red mud; the sodium alumino-hydrosilicates content is dissolved with diluted sulfuric acid, subsequently a precursor gel is made from the resulting solution by blending it with a sodium hydroxide or sodium aluminate solution at a pH greater than 12, usually at a pH of 13.5. The precursor gel is aged at a temperature of 70-95°C and subsequently NaA zeolite is obtained by crystallization.
  • This process is basically identical with the process described above and the disadvantages are similar as well.
  • zeolite(s) can be made from raw materials containing alkali alumino-hydrosilicate in which the acid and alkali consumption are moderate, the zeolite product(s) has/have such a purity which meet(s) the expectations of the users in the world market, and the synthesis of zeolite can be carried out in common industrial equipment.
  • a precursor slurry that is suitable for the crystallization of zeolite can be directly formed from alkali alumino-hydrosilicates provided that the alkali alumino-hydrosilicates are transformed to an amorphous state by an appropriate acid treatment.
  • the crystalline structure of the alkali alumino-hydrosilicates is destroyed by the removal of the charge compensating (mainly Na + ) cations.
  • the charge compensating mainly Na +
  • the process steps of dissolving the raw material in the acid and of making a strongly alkaline solution again from the highly acidic solution can be avoided.
  • the gel formation, which is a difficult step of the previous processes can also be avoided since as per our invention, the precursor slurry, suitable for crystallization of zeolite can be obtained by blending the amorphous alkali alumino-hydrosilicates with silica, alkali and alumina in appropriate amounts.
  • the amorphous solid zeolite precursor can be washed free of the excess acid or even dried.
  • the slurry obtained is ready to be crystallized into various commodity zeolite products (like NaA, NaX, NaY or maximum aluminium P zeolite).
  • this invention provides an improved process for the transformation of alkali (preferably sodium) alumino-hydrosilicates into various zeolites by acid treatment to destroy their crystalline structure first, (an amorphous material is made in this way), followed possibly by purification, and a subsequent separation of the intermediate amorphous solid from the liquid phase; then the slurry for zeolite crystallization is prepared from this amorphous material by suspending it in water which possibly contains alkali (sodium hydroxide) and possibly after addition of alumina-, and/or silica- and/or Na 2 O-containg components and/or crystallization promoters thereby adjusting the proper zeolite slurry composition.
  • the zeolite slurry is possibly aged and/or blended with zeolite nuclei. After these the crystallization, filtration andlor washing and drying are carried out according to the known processes.
  • natural alkali alumino-hydrosilicates and/or industrial by-products or wastes containing mainly alkali alumino-hydrosilicates can be used as raw materials.
  • Materials with at least 50w% (on dry basis) alkali alumino-hydrosilicates in the form of crystalline or amorphous compounds are considered as raw materials. Further on materials with alkali alumino-hydrosilicate content as defined here are considered as raw materials.
  • Acceptable raw materials are the desilication products which are obtained in the first step of the desilication of the pregnant liquor that is carried out at 150-170 °C in the sintering alumina manufacturing process.
  • Natural materials which contain alkali alumino-hydrosilicates such as nepheline with a low iron content can be used as raw material, too.
  • sodium alumino-hydrosilicate materials of high purity can preferably be obtained from the Bayer alumina manufacturing process by an Improved Low Temperature Digestion Process [Gy. Bánvölgyi: Travaux Vol. 24, 1997 (No 28) ICSOBA, Budapest, Proc. of 8th International Congress, April 16-18, 1997, Milan, Italy, pp 214-228] or in combined Bayer/sintering processes.
  • the raw materials which can be used in the embodiment of this invention, are desilication products of sodium alumino-hydrosilicate type originating from various alumina manufacturing processes or scales deposited therein, as they are available, cheap and materials otherwise difficult to utilize.
  • the various alkali alumino-hydrosilicate by-products of the alumina manufacturing processes can be described with the following general formula 3[Na 2 O.Al 2 O 3 .2SiO 2 .(2+k)H 2 O].Na 2 X where 0 ⁇ k ⁇ 2, and X means 2OH - , CO 3 2- , SO 4 2- , 2Cl, or 2Al(OH) 4 - . If crystalline, their crystal structure is either that of sodalite (Bayer sodalite), nosean, or cancrinite (the latter is formed during the high temperature digestion of bauxites, or in scalings that are formed in low temperature digestion autoclaves during very long time periods).
  • the alkali alumino-hydrosilicate raw material is not dissolved in the acid, it is only transformed to the amorphous state by exchanging the charge compensating alkali (mainly Na + ) ions for H + /H 3 O + ions.
  • alkali mainly Na +
  • H + /H 3 O + ions This causes a very rapid collapse of the crystal structure even at room temperature.
  • a little more acid (10-30% in excess) is needed than that required only to neutralize the overall alkalinity of the raw material, nevertheless, this amount of acid is still less than half of the one that is to be used for the complete dissolution of the alkali alumino-hydrosilicates at pH ⁇ 2.3.
  • the concentration of the acid is irrelevant, the ion exchange takes place even in weak acid solutions.
  • the structural aluminium is left intact, therefore the exact amount (and concentration) of the acid should be determined experimentally.
  • the collapse of the crystal structure can easily be tested by X-ray diffractometry.
  • the material is amorphous if the acid-treated, filtered and washed sample after its drying and treatment at ⁇ 600°C for 1-2 h, the X-ray pattern that is characteristic to the alkali alumino-hydrosilicate of the raw material substantially disappears and the X-ray pattern is characteristic of the amorphous material.
  • the acid that is used for the tratment can be any mineral or organic acid, a mixture of various acids, it can be an acidic waste from the industry, such as from alumina refineries, which may contain solid and/or dissolved silica-contaning scalings from the acidic cleaning of the equipment.
  • Preferred is a sulfuric acid solution of 3-60w%.
  • the temperature of the acid treatment should be between 20 and 160 °C, preferably at 60-80 °C.
  • the product of the acid treatment can be filtered off from the slightly acidic (pH ⁇ 4.5-5) solution without difficulty, and if necessary, the excess acid can be removed by washing and later on it can be neutralised with diluted alkali. If iron impurities are present, their complexation can be carried out preferably in the acidic solution.
  • the washed (neutralised) zeolite precursor can be dried and stored if the further processing steps shall be carried out afterwards.
  • the next step of converting the precursor to zeolite product is the preparation of the synthesis slurry from the amorphous intermediate material/product.
  • the composition of the synthesis slurry depends on the type of zeolite to be made.
  • Water glass (sodium silicate) solution is preferably used as SiO 2 source.
  • the water glass which is commercially available usually, does not need to be purified.
  • the same is relevant for the sodium hydroxide, irrespective of whether it is solid or in solution.
  • the sodium hydroxide solution should not contain more than 10% of sodium carbonate. In alumina refineries spent liquor is mostly used as Al 2 O 3 and Na 2 O source.
  • the carbonate content of the spent liquor should not be more than 10% of the total alkali content otherwise the prescriptions should be modified (e.g. lower temperature is to be applied) in order to eliminate the "carbonate effect".
  • the prescriptions should be modified (e.g. lower temperature is to be applied) in order to eliminate the "carbonate effect".
  • SiO 2 , Na 2 O and Al 2 O 3 sources can also be used in the zeolite synthesis, however their price is usually far too high to be competitive with spent liquors or wastes and/or by-products of the alumina refineries.
  • Crystallisation of the expected zeolite is possible only after appropriate ageing of the slurry, or addition of crystal nuclei.
  • Types NaA and NaX or even NaP c if the Si/Al ratio is greater than 3 and K + ions are present in the slurry) crystallise spontaneously, therefore, no crystal nuclei addition is necessary.
  • NaY can only be produced if (NaX) nuclei are added to the slurry before crystallisation.
  • NaX can be prepared in mixed slurries if crystallisation is preceded by 4-6 h ageing at about 40-60 °C.
  • Crystallisation is carried out in the 60-170 °C temperature range, depending on the type of zeolite.
  • NaA(LTA) can be produced in excellent purity between 60-88 °C, whereas making NaP c (GIS) zeolite needs higher, prefeably 110-135 °C temperature.
  • GIS NaP c
  • Mixing preferably vigorous mixing is generally advantageous. Nevertheless when mixing influences the type of zeolite that forms, no mixing is recommended, or the necessary amount of nuclei should be added before the start of the crystallisation with mixing.
  • the time of crystallisation lasts from 0.5 h to several days, depending on the type of zeolite and the crystallisation temperature.
  • the commercially important types with high specific surface area and open pore structure are all metastable from the physico-chemical (thermodynamical) point of view, therefore, extended heating may cause their transformation into stable type(s) which have compact structures and have no practical commercial use.
  • NaA NaX
  • FAU MAP-NaP c
  • GIS MAP-NaP c
  • the synthesis procedure described in the present invention allows the production of a wide variety of zeolites from natural raw materials, industrial by-products and wastes as well.
  • the present invention can be used for processing of the desilication by-product (sodalite) of the pregnant liquor desilication of the alumina refineries.
  • the possibly negative environmental impact of the process according to the present invention is significantly less than that of the ones of the known processes mentioned in the introductory part.
  • sodium alumino-hydrosilicate corresponding to the formula 3[Na 2 O.Al 2 O 3 .2SiO 2 .(2+k)H 2 O].
  • a significant amount of Na 2 SO 4 is generated which can hardly be disposed of in an environmentally sustainable manner.
  • composition of the raw material and the process parameters influence the acid consumption that is really needed to carry out both processes.
  • the figures given in Table 1 are based on the theoretical assumption that during the acid treatment according to the present invention only the charge compensating Na + ions should be replaced, while in the process of WO 91/15427 A1 both the Na- and the Al-contents of the alkali alumino-hydrosilicate have to be dissolved by the acid.
  • Tables 2 and 3 show further comparisons between the process as per the present invention and the process disclosed in WO 91/15427 A1.
  • the "theoretical" sodium hydroxide consumption is shown in Table 2 and the “theoretical” sodium sulfate production in Table 3.
  • the process according to the present invention is superior to the previously known processes as far as the basic reagent consumptions and also the environmental disadvantages are concerned.
  • the mother liquor of the zeolite synthesis that contains mainly NaOH and some sodium aluminate and some sodium sulfate can be fully utilized in the Bayer process as make-up caustic.
  • the Na 2 SO 4 (which is obtained when the alkali alumino-hydrosilicate raw material is converted into an amorphous material) can be used in the alumina manufacturing process at least in part.
  • the process according to the present invention can also be used for processing hydroxide sodalite (or analcime) which can be formed if some trouble occurs with the zeolite synthesis process that is widely used for the time being.

After this, the liquid phase, which contains sodium sulfate (and possibly Fe(III) sulfate in traces), is separated by filtration, the solid phase is washed once with distilled water and dried at 110°C.
